High-End
This high-end Italian restaurant NEVER fails. The staff is amazing as well as knowledgeable about food and drink choices. With a rotating menu, there is always something new and unique but also timeless and classic items that are fan favorites.
Catherine & Mary's
An incredible place with incredible Irish specialties. I love a good Guinness and this place can sure make that happen. I always order the Shepherd’s Pie, pure heaven.
Bog & Barley Irish Pub
She’s a Memphis staple and just reopened her restaurant on Main St. Try the sister restaurant Amelia Gene’s also!
Felicia Suzanne's
Just trust me, and if you don’t, maybe you’ll trust Guy Fieri…who has in fact been here.
GOOD FORTUNE CO.
Casual
The best authentic Mexican food around town! Tacos-n-Ganas is a classic Memphis staple with food trucks surrounding the city, but stop into their restaurant Uncle Goyo’s for their incredible food sit down style. Order their cilantro margarita for a u...
Uncle Goyo's Mexican Restaurant | Germantown TN
With 9 locations, you can’t pass up this burger joint. Welcoming staff and some serious finger licking food, this burger is unbeatable. I always get the cheese fries (with extra ranch!!) and a Huey’s cheddar burger, full dressed obviously.
Huey's Downtown
Casual place with reliable food and drinks. Sit outside on a warm summer night with the games on and live music, pure bliss
Brookhaven Pub & Grill
This famous music room has been around for ages, THE Billy Joel performed his hit song Piano Man at Lafayette’s (before anyone knew who he was!). The food is spectacular and is always a solid choice when going out for a night with friends to enjoy ea...
Lafayette's Music Room
If you’re coming to Memphis and you didn’t go to the Rendezvous, did you really come to Memphis?
The Rendezvous
CLASSIC pizza spot in downtown right near Beale St. Aldo’s has been around for a while now and I forget how good it is every time.
Aldo's Pizza Pies
This is my favorite pizza place in Memphis, like hands down.
Little Italy East Memphis | Pizza, Pasta, and Subs
Quick Bites
Located at Overton Square, have a quick tea with some small bites before you enjoy the rest of your day. Many local shops and places right next door!
17 Berkshire
This is on my coffee connoisseur list also, but it’s just too good not to mention twice.
Hive | Bagel and Deli
Bar & Nightlife
One of, if not, THE longest standing bar in Memphis. There are stories galore about this place, I won’t spill them so you have to check it out for yourself. The camaraderie in this place is impeccable, make friends with the staff, you won’t regret it...
Earnestine & Hazel's
Classic, casual restaurant and bar. Go get yourself some good food, some good drinks, with some good friends. That can last you hours at this place, one of my favorite bars to go to in Memphis. Oh! Did I mention you can shoot pool??!
Young Avenue Deli
This place has been around FOREVER, and, there’s a reason for that! Right off of Beale St. and is always poppin. However, be ready to drop some $$$ on the cover…but again, always worth it. This club is my special occasion club, when my friends come f...
Paula & Raiford's Disco
A little more on the sophisticated side, which is sometimes more fun. Friendly staff and good drinks, you better sit on the patio.

Sweet Treats
It may not look like much but these snow cones will make you rethink everything. Make sure to order a medium or large to add that delicate silky vanilla soft serve to the mix…game changer.
Jerry's Sno Cones
It’s Ben & Jerry’s, c’mon you can’t pass em up.
Ben & Jerry's
Stay
Super cool hotel right on Main St. I recommend this place to everyone who comes to Memphis.
Arrive | Memphis
Right near Beale St. with an impeccable view of the river and a rooftop bar (that is actually really good). My family and I still go to that rooftop even though we aren’t staying at the hotel.
